NBCDiners at Hops restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina, were surprised when a manager announced that the restaurant was closing immediately and they'd have to leave.

Police entered "Hops" restaurant Sunday night, NBC affiliate WCNC reported. Shortly after, the manager explained to customers that they had to evacuate.

Everyone received their check and to-go boxes for food before they left the restaurant.
